Meet the HRAYS Coaches!

The coaches have been placed and the teams have been chosen, so we're ready to kick off the fall 2026 HRAYS soccer season!

Meet the Coaches will be held at the Middleton soccer fields on Thursday, August 13, at 6:30 p.m.

Players and their parents are invited to come out and meet their team coach. Afterwards, there will be some time for the players to enjoy soccer playing fun. Players are encouraged to wear shin guards and soccer cleats to the event.

If you have shin guards and cleats your child is no longer using and you would like to donate them to another child to use, please bring those items. We will have a donation table set up.

=====
DIRECTIONS: Start at the intersection of Highways 125 and 57 in Middleton. Head towards Pocahontas on Highway 57 and turn left at the first street (past the shopping strip), like you are driving to the back of where TK Elevator Manufacturing (also remembered as ThyssenKrupp, Dover Elevator) is located. You will see the soccer fields on the right. If you pass the first street, you will see the soccer fields on the left (as you're driving along Highway 57) and should know you have gone too far.

Coaches still needed!

We want to thank all of you who have volunteered to coach HRAYS teams this season. It means a lot to us and will be a tremendous blessing to the players.

We still have a few more open coach positions that need to be filled. You will have support along the way, so coaching experience is not required.

If you have the time and are able, please call of text Jennifer at (510) 931-8314.

There will be a coaches meeting on Tuesday, August 11, at 6:30 p.m. at Liberty Baptist Church. All coach volunteers and those interested in coaching are encouraged to attend.
